What is the official marketing spiel for this game? I am dying to know!!!"In the second episode, The Tomb of Sammun-Mak, the Freelance Police face even more bizarre and dangerous new characters (and some familiar faces). The game's designer calls this episode Sam & Max's "trippiest trip yet", as it features new psychic powers, peculiar foes, a journey on the Disorient Express and an ancient mysterious riddle from across the ages."

So you guys've been playing it, right? What do you think? Let's talk about games!

I assume Telltale's influence on when it's available on Steam is rather limited, right?

Sorry, I don't buy it. Why would they allow their games to be listed (as publisher/developer?) on Steam, if they had no control or input over their release?

And if it is a case of "Valve Time" jerking their customers around by delaying their releases, then TTG should be open enough to let folks know it's outside their control, and to only purchase via their site, not just leave people hanging.

The game can't just automatically appear on Steam once Telltale gives them the code. And once the code is out of Telltale's hands, there's nothing Telltale can do -- they must wait for Valve to actually release the game to Steam.

I think Telltale has mentioned on numerous occasions that the Steam release is usually delayed by a few hours. It would make no sense for Telltale to abandon a valuable and profitable distribution system like Steam just because of a slight delay in a game's release there.

Steam releases games as soon as they can based on when we get them a build. We had some tweaks we were working on this morning, so Steam got the builds a bit later than usual. The Steam versions are currently going through the approval process and then they should theoretically be good to go. That said, anything can happen but we will try to keep you up to date. Sorry for the delay!
